Kobe has ZERO assists again. He's the reason the Lakers are losing, right?

 

[marathonfool]

Remember when the Lakers won the off-season because they drastically improved their bench by adding Steve Blake, Matt Barnes, and Theo Ratliff?

Remember when BlackMamba said no team scared the Lakers?

 

[Nabs]

I hate the Lakers and even I don't want Phil Jackson's career to end with his team quitting on him.

heh

 

[dream]

So is this same for KG and ray ray?

They old. Time to move on?

No, they find ways to win by being unselfish, and they're both still valuable in the twilight of their careers.

 

[reilo]

I can't remember where this is from and it's really starting to bother me.

The Matrix. It's quite obviously Neo.

 

[sooperkool]

lol, if Magic can't keep his shit together he shouldn't even be on TV.

You must not have ever seen The Magic Hour

 

[etiolate]

But if you're down 0-3 its probably because the other team has those "intangibles" more so than you.

 

[Kimosabae]

Jesus some of you need to LISTEN.

Magic meant Dallas is more intense, more physical, more urgent etc. YET they're the ones up 3-0 when it should be the LAKERS displaying those attributes in a game like this.

I already tried. Don't bother.

 

[EvilMario]

Kobe will be better than Wizard's Jordan for a few more years, but being stuck with this roster will quickly advance his decline.

 

[The Chosen One]

Mavs literally put the Lakers out to pasture. 12 gauge shotgun to the head.

Kobe showed up, but absolutely no one else did on the Lakers, and let's be real the Mavs are shooting out of their minds.

[Straightballin]

Kobe should retire after this season.

No one wants to see him in a Wizards Jordan role.

Yeah and Jordan was 38-40 years old

 

[Blackface]

So is this same for KG and ray ray?

They old. Time to move on?

Boston was a team built around 3 stars. There is no one leader, no one person that must perform for them to win. They also have a couple good young players in Rondo and Green.

The Lakers are completely built around Kobe, and greatly depend on a coach that is leaving. They have no good young players on their roster, no draft picks and no cap space.

If they don't land Chris Paul/Dwight Howard the Lakers won't be contenders for at the least, 5 years.

I mean, last time it took Shaq and for them to get lucky enough to end up with a top 5 SG to ever play pro basketball. A legend. It won't happen again.

 

[thekad]

Which Pau? 2009-2010? Or 2008-prior/2011?

I think he just needs a change in scenery. That locker room is fucked.

 

[Raziel]

my favorite part was fisher giving a motivational speech during the huddle, then coming out missing a layup, and committing a foul in the penalty.

 

[Ferny]

Brandon Roy's not walking out of that locker room.

Edit: Magic has a short memory. Game 6 of the 08 finals was worse than this.

Lakers actually won a game that series :-/

Bynums effort was pretty good.

You can't get assists when nobody on your team can make a shot.

 

[linsivvi]

Pau for Scola + changes.

I think we've found a sucker, Ninja!

[Ripclawe]

Dallas bench has 40 points in the half on 69% shooting.

*looks at the heat bench and gets violent thoughts*

 

[Nelo Ice]

Surprisingly enough, my favorite Lakers teams were the 90s Lakers before Kobe and Shaq arrived. NVE and Eddie Jones were the shit.

i was only a kid during those times(born in 1990) so i really have no idea how we were before kobe and co arrived ><

though i keep hearing i think sedale threatt is an ahole at least according to my sister since my parents always used to bring her to the forum and she got to go to like every team practice
according to her hes the only one that never greeted her during practices
also before anyone makes a stupid joke my sister wasnt even in high school yet...

man i wish i was older back then cuz my cousin/sister got the hook up they literally go to chill in the locker rooms of teams eat food from the team cook and get stuff signed etc
also my cousin even got to go on the spurs team bus

 

[ryutaro's mama]

In a surprising turn of events, Jordan Farmar, Josh Powell, DJ, Ammo and Sasha Vujaccic have teamed up for the remix of Tell Me How My Ass Taste.

:|

 

[fse]

Lakers got this. I feel it

 

[K.Jack]

HOLY SHIT, I just woke up. Lakeshow tanking?

 

[Gigglepoo]

lol, if Magic can't keep his shit together he shouldn't even be on TV.

I'm fine with a partial broadcaster as long as they have something intelligent to bring to the table. Magic doesn't. He just brings up the most obvious points imaginable (Dallas is playing hard!) and then make a dumb joke (Rondo can pass with one hand!). That's his shtick. Just because he's one of the best players ever doesn't mean he should be on television.

 

[nemesun]

No, they find ways to win by being unselfish, and they're both still valuable in the twilight of their careers.

Hear, hear.

He probably said something like, "let's do what we do best!"

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Who the fuck is he going to assist

 

[teruterubozu]

I'm ready for the Sedale Theatts, Sam Bowies and Randy Pfunds again.

 

[diehard]

Good to see the most overrated coach ever go out in embarrassing fashion.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

heh

Phil Jackson to the Knicks.

 

[thekad]

Pau for Scola + changes.

I think we've found a sucker, Ninja!

LOL, Scola ain't goin' anywhere.

 

[Nabs]

lol @ a quiet locker room. baby steps.

 

[Future PhaZe]

I think he just needs a change in scenery. That locker room is fucked.

Its arguably the best situation for him in the entire league. You could replace him with Bosh on the Heat and it would be a harder situation for him.

He's just being a bitch right now.

 

[Puddles]

The Kwame teams had more heart than this.

 

[reilo]

Good to see the most overrated coach ever go out in embarrassing fashion.

Why are we talking about Jerry Sloan all of the sudden?

Yeah but when a team shoots 79% on you, you have quit.

Lakers continued to cheat off of Terry all quarter, even as he was killing them.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

2 fouls on Gasol in the first 33 seconds.

 

[Bread]

Lakers got this. I feel it

lol Phil shaking his head.

 

[MikeTyson]

and so it begins.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

HOLY SHIT, I just woke up. Lakeshow tanking?

5pur5 showed the way last year in the playoffs.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Oh boy...

 

[overcast]

Holy shit Pau. What is wrong with you?

 

[StickSoldier]

Damn Dirk. I was afraid he'd be cold.

Oh there he amade one.

 

[RBH]

Why are we talking about Jerry Sloan all of the sudden?

lol

 

[teruterubozu]

Fisher! BAh

 

[Forceatowulf]

OK, OK, I believe you, I believe you. You're a Lakers fan, but I think your refusal to continue watching the playoffs may mean that you're not a general basketball fan.

Watching the playoffs without the Lakers in it after they've just been eliminated is like watching your friends have fun with their girlfriends after you just broke up with yours. A lot of people have a hard time stomaching that sight so soon.

I think I'll just watch the Finals after this. Gonna need some time to cleanse this shit from my soul.

Good news is, as much as this sucks, It's nowhere near as bad as I felt during 03, 08, 06 and 04. Not even close really...

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Good to see the most overrated coach ever go out in embarrassing fashion.

But not before he shit on that other coach in 97-98 Finals.
